Koda;
The room is cold tonight.
Cold and quiet.
Gravemaw itself is alive as always, but everything around me feels muted.
This is one of those nights where I can't help but miss Elian. I miss him so much, it's depressing.
It would have been rewarding if, after all the day's work, I had his beautiful smile to return to. His little tantrums about how much work I've been doing and how little time I've spent with him.
It would have been rewarding if, after all the day's work, I could rest my aching muscles in his embrace. But he's not here… and all I'm left with is silence, and missing him…
For some reason, his absence has been hitting harder these past few days.
One would think that it would be easier with time, and I'd learn how to survive away from him, but that's not true.
It's easier. It gets harder. In fact, it has been so hard that I had to bring myself to Mother's castle.
Just so I can stay in our room.
